Commune of Paris
engraving on wood from circa 1872, on the theme of the commune of Paris. The Paris Commune is the most important of the insurrectional communes of France in 1870-1871, which lasted 72 days, from March 18, 1871 to the “Bloody Week” of May 21 to 28, 1871. Composed of an engraving cut in the form of a cut. Entitled: “The procession of a delegate from the Commune”.
The engraving depicts a lively scene where a group of men on horseback cross a crowded street. In the foreground, a man in a top hat leads the procession. In the background, a crowd can be seen gathered in front of urban buildings, including a cafe named "Café Rich". The scene seems to take place in a tense and dynamic atmosphere.
The procession illustrated in this engraving reflects the agitation and frequent military movements during the tumultuous period of the Paris Commune. Delegates often played crucial roles in organizing and maintaining communal activities against the Versailles forces. These scenes were common as the Communards sought to establish their authority in the face of constant challenges posed by their adversaries.
